AUSTIN ON CTE, TRADITIONAL SURVIVOR SERIES MATCHES, THE PART TIME ERA AND MORE

Watching the Mr. McMahon documentary, last episode has Austin saying not a CTE guy as he can’t remember getting concussion.  Did he miss the irony of that?

I think it went right over his probably-concussed-more-than-the-one-time head.  Seriously, I thought the same exact thing when I heard him say it.

What do you make of Steve Austin's comments in the McMahon documentary about not believing in CTE?

I think it was ignorant to be perfectly honest. It’s not something that someone believes in, it’s a proven medical condition. He came off badly with that statement to me.  

I still find it utterly abhorrent that Tony Khan would have a wrestler rappel down from the ceiling with Martha Hart in attendance.  I can only imagine the mental trauma she must have been going through in those few seconds during Darby's descent.  Was Martha actually consulted about this spot,  did she approve of it, and would Tony have still done it anyways even if she objected?

We were told that she was consulted and was OK with it. 

Is the Part time era finally over? Who do you think have been the biggest losers of the part time era?

I don’t, no. I think HHH and his team has already shown us that talents will get breaks when there aren’t active storylines for them and I think it’s great for both the talents’ health and also for keeping them fresh.  The losers of that old era were all of the talent that Vince jobbed out to the part time guys or gave their spots to.

With the Survivor Series PLE focusing on the WarGames match nowadays, do you think that the traditional Survivor Series multi-person tag team elimination match is a thing of the past?

Yes, I do because it’s a concept that made sense back in the day when we didn’t have first run matches on TV every week.  Now? It’s hard to book to the old Survivor Series concept due to how much fresh programming is needed.
